Yield Not to Temptation was teased before Possum. I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone. Trey teased Dave’s Energy Guide during the Tweezer, and Simple Gifts during BBFCFM. The second encore was played after a loud and passionate “Phish” chant by the audience.

Show Reviews

My first show. I was dragged to it by my old Deadhead touring buddy who thought I would love these guys. He got the Junta cassette through Relix about a year before these shows and fell in love. I was not all that impressed after listening to Junta that afternoon before the show, but I was happy to go into SF and have a few beers (or a dozen) and listen to some music.
I do not have much memory of the show except that I am still convinced that they played Fee this night. We kept talking about the three "Fs" (Fee, Fluffhead, and Foam). Somehow I got it into my head that Fee was played. The newly surfaced setlist begs to differ, however. I probably just got that idea from listening to Junta 3 times that afternoon.
I do remember Split Open and Melt and Reba, because I bought the cassette after the show and fell in love with those songs.
I remember thinking these guys were kinda buzzed and maybe not all that professional. Just another band that will disappear in a year.
Also, I don't remember 2 encores, but I was drunk, and it was a long time ago. I do remember raging to GTBT.

Only the second set was available through the spreadsheet, so I can only comment on that, but it's pretty damn good. Very tight, and Trey is on fire throughout. Very solid Fluffhead, hilarious BBFCFB (and for the record, Bouncin'> BBFCFM is a damn weird transition), but the highlight is the Tweezer, which is driving and very, very good.
